Single-Stage Decompression for Triple Nerve Entrapment of the Distal Upper Limb

Abstract

Peripheral nerve injuries have a significant negative impact on daily activities and quality of life. Considering that the compression of more than one peripheral nerve may have an increased negative emotional impact, it is, therefore, important to make a thorough diagnosis and speed up the surgical treatment. We present the case of a 71-year-old male patient with multiple simultaneous compression neuropathies of the distal right arm involving the posterior interosseous, median and ulnar nerves, who sought medical care during the first year of the COVID-19 outbreak.
